  Innovation and Competitive Characteristics in Local Forest Industry Enterprises: A Case Study; [Inovacijska i konkurentska obilježja lokalnih poduzeća drvne industrije: studija slučaja]

  Komut, Osman; Karabulut, Ayşenur

  The forest products industry makes significant contributions to national economies in terms of basic economic indicators such as employment, expansion into rural areas, added value, investment and exports. This study aims to measure the innovation perception, awareness and competitiveness of small and medium-sized forest products enterprises operating in local areas on the basis of different variables. Within the scope of the study, a data collection tool including on-site observation, interviews and the developed scale was used on enterprises located in a local administrative region. The data obtained were subjected to hypothesis testing and correlation analysis. The findings revealed that the perception of innovation in small and medium-sized forest products industry enterprises is affected by demographic factors related to the enterprise managers, and basic factors related to the enterprise such as the number of employees, field of activity, duration of activity, annual average income, and product distribution channels. Furthermore, it has been determined that innovation awareness decreases as the scale of the enterprises shrinks. As a result, it can be said that the innovation and competition characteristics that are valid in the global and national forest products industry market are not yet fully applicable to local-scale and low-capacity enterprises.

  Investigation of Noise Exposure Levels in Furniture Industry: The Impact of Enterprise Scale and Machine Operational States; [Istraživanje razina izloženosti buci u industriji namještaja: utjecaj veličine poduzeća i radnih stanja strojeva]

  Öztürk, Erhan; Komut, Osman; Fidan, Muhammed Said

  The furniture industry is characterized by the intensive use of cutting, shaping, and surface-treating machinery, which naturally generates high noise levels. This study aimed to assess noise exposure levels in furniture manufacturing facilities by examining the effects of enterprise scale, machine types, and working conditions (loaded and unloaded) on occupational health and safety (OHS). The study was conducted in a total of 30 enterprises, 10 at each enterprise scale level. Physical risk factor data for noise were recorded using on-site measurements for the machines and production lines used at each enterprise level, depending on various variables. ANOVA, T-test, and Correlation analyses were performed to determine the relationships between the variables. The results revealed that small-scale businesses were the riskiest group in terms of noise levels. Generally, although measured noise levels in workplaces remain below the highest exposure action value of 85 dB, critical levels have been detected under specific machinery and working conditions. In machine-based assessments, the critical machines exceeding the highest exposure value of 85 dB are: In small-scale businesses – planing machine (95.26 dB), circular saw (88.08 dB) and band saw (86.81 dB); in micro-scale businesses – CNC drilling machine (91.13 dB), CNC sizing machine (88.01 dB) and band saw (85.95 dB); and in medium-scale businesses – circular saw (85.24 dB). As a result of the study, it has been emphasized that long-term noise exposure poses a risk to employees’ hearing health and that preventive measures are therefore mandatory.

  Noise as a physical risk factor in furniture industry machines

  Yasar, Sekip Sadiye; Komut, Osman; Yasar, Mehmet; Fidan, Muhammed Said

  This study aimed to determine the risk level of noise, which is an important physical risk, in small and medium-sized furniture industry enterprises. The noise levels of the circular sawing machines, edge banding machines, and mitre cutting machines, which are among the main processing machines of the sector, were measured. The study was carried out in 32 furniture businesses. The possible risks of noise on the operators of the machines in question and other employees were evaluated. Noise level measurements were made with the help of TESTO 815 measuring device. Dunnett’s T3 test was used to detect differences in noise levels for machine operators and other employees. It was determined that the edge banding machine does not pose an occupational health and safety risk in terms of noise risk factors. However, the mitre cutting machine and the circular sawing machine pose a risk for the machine operator in active production by creating noise above the established exposure limit value. The mitre cutting machine carries the same risk for the machine operator when it is in operation but in passive production. The results revealed the need for personal protective equipment for machine operators for mitre cutting and circular sawing machine.

  Yaşar, Mehmet; Yasar, Sekip Sadiye; Fidan, Muhammed Said; Komut, Osman

  Türkiye’de mobilya endüstrisi sektörü küçük ve orta ölçekli işletme yapısıyla ülke genelinde önemli bir istihdam alanı sağlamaktadır. Diğer yandan sektör, iş sağlığı ve güvenliği hususunda olumsuzlukların fazlasıyla yaşandığı faaliyet alanları arasında yer almaktadır. Bu çalışmanın amacı, sanayi bölgelerinden uzak küçük ve orta ölçekli ağaç işleri ve mobilya endüstrisi işletmelerinde iş sağlığı ve güvenliği koşullarının değerlendirilmesidir. Bu kapsamda toplam 54 çalışan ile yüz yüze görüşme esasına dayalı anket uygulaması gerçekleştirilmiştir. Çalışmada 5’li likert ölçeğinde hazırlanmış önermeler ile işyerlerinin durumu ve çalışanların konuya ilişkin görüşleri tespit edilmeye çalışılmıştır. Araştırmada, elde edilen veriler üzerinde oransal karşılaştırmaların yanı sıra, iş kazasına maruz kalma değişkenine göre iş güvenliği faktörlerinin analizinde Mann Witney U testi kullanılmıştır. Elde edilen bulgular, katılımcı işletmelerin %67 oranında faaliyet süresinin 5 yılın altında olduğu belirlenmiştir. Ayrıca kişisel koruyucu donanım kullanımı ve periyodik sağlık muayenelerde eksikliklerin olduğu tespit edilmiştir. Katılımcıların iş kazası maruziyeti %72 olarak belirlenirken, el ve parmakların ağırlıklı yaralanan uzuvlar olduğu anlaşılmıştır. Diğer yandan iş kazası maruziyetinin iş güvenliği faktörlerine yönelik görüşlere ilişkin istatistiksel düzeyde anlamlı farklılıklar (p&lt;0,05) oluşturduğu tespit edilmiştir. Sonuç olarak, küçük ve orta ölçekli ağaç işleri ve mobilya işletmelerinde iş sağlığı ve güvenliği kültürünün yeterince gelişmediği söylenebilir.

  The Economic Impacts of Covid-19 on the Forestry Sector: A Case Study in Turkey

  Komut, Osman

  The Covid 19 pandemic has led to considerable destruction of social and economic areas at a global level. This study aims to determine the economic impact of the Covid 19 pandemic on the Turkish forestry sector. In this context, 5 years (from 2017 to 2021) of wood-based product sales of an administrative unit, which carries out regional forestry activities in Turkey, were studied. The data concerning the product groups were subjected to a Laspeyres price index analysis based on the base period weight through the price and estimated price increase rate variables. In addition, correlation analysis was utilized to determine the relationships between the determined variables. The findings showed that the Covid 19 pandemic led to decreases in the Laspeyres price index values for the price and estimated price increase rates when compared with the pre-pandemic period, which was different on a product group’s basis. As a result, it can be said that the Covid 19 pandemic process created a considerable potential for a loss of income in wood-based products, which is one of the primary outputs of the forestry sector, and as of 2021, a recovery process has started.

  Komut, Osman

  One of the most important stakeholders in the sustainable management of non-wood forest products (NVVFP) is the forestry organization employees. In this study, the analysis of the perception, awareness and opinions of the forestry organization employees concerning the sustainable management of NWFPs was determined as the main aim. The study was conducted with a research pattern consisting of a questionnaire and semi-structured questions for employees at the level of employees, forest guards, office clerks and engineers within two different Regional Directorates of Forestry in Turkey. Mann Whitney U and Kruskal Wallis H statistical analysis tests were utilized for determination of the differences of opinions based on the variables. In the research, statistically significant (p<0.05) differences of opinion were determined based on the sub-groups of variables of the regional directorate, activity, receiving training, occupation, educational background, and gender. Research results have proved that the number of NWFPs which are evaluated economically and are harvested in a controlled manner is very low. It has been determined that the forestry organization employees don't find the work on NWFP adequate and they are concerned about the sustainable management of NWFPs.

  THE EVALUATION OF SOME FACTORS AFFECTING THE QUALITY OF RAW MATERIALS IN MICRO-SCALED FOREST INDUSTRY ENTERPRISES

  Komut, Osman

  Forest industry enterprises that process round industrial wood are the biggest consumers of the forestry sector. In this study, micro-scale forest industry enterprises that process round industrial wood are investigated. Questionnaires based on face-to-face interviews were utilized as a data collection tool. The raw material storage areas of 48 enterprises, visited during the study, were subjected to direct observation and examination in terms of storage methods, conditions and damages in logs. The ratio of the enterprises participating in the total number of enterprises in the study area occurred as 64%. The relationships between the defined variables were analyzed with the Chi-square independence test. The analysis of variance was used to determine the relationship between independent variables. The results showed that raw material supply methods of enterprises differ, and they vary as the enterprise size grows. The annual average revenue was a variable that caused statically significant differentiation (p<0.05) in the raw material supply methods between enterprises. The results proved that the supply of raw materials with the stumpage sale method increased the risk of bark beetle damage in logs. Improper storage methods and conditions were identified as causes of significant blue discoloration damage in coniferous tree logs.
